Dear Band
Parents and Students:

I hope that the
start of the school year is going well for everyone. I
am very excited to see the band perform this weekend! I
wanted to take a moment to update you on the fundraisers to date and to ask for
your continued support and volunteerism, especially with the upcoming Music In
Motion on October 7th.

CAR SHOW UPDATE:
The car show was a success. The students did a TREMENDOUS job with donations
and the 50/50 raffle sales! Net proceeds: $1,296.47. This
was slightly higher than last year, with about 15 fewer cars participating. We
are continuing to learn a lot about running a show and next year promises to be
even better.

We mailed over
300 letters and forms out to date. Last
week, we handed out a sheet of 3-5 businesses to each student at the end of
rehearsal. If you did not receive a list of contacts, please let Mrs. Mellitt
or me know. If every student/family did 3-5 we would knock this out of the
park! All you need to do is ask people you know. Our
total campaign to date: $ 3,375.00.
We have 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, and 1 Silver level sponsor to date. Let’s keep up
the momentum!! There
are many levels of sponsorship to sell – every dollar counts! Here is a link to
the form: Sponsor Campaign Form.

MEMBER/DONOR DRIVE UPDATE:

Reminder to all
– please make your tax-free donation to the band in lieu of paying membership
dues and check with your employer regarding matching gifts! To date we have $1,780.00 in
donations. Thank you to those who have made your contribution. Here is a
link to the form: Member Donation Form.

MUSIC IN MOTION UPDATE:

Deck!! Thank you to those already signed up for a role.There
is still much to do to plan and execute our home show that is just around the
